Capricorn Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 If you don't use cruise control you'll even get better consumption (assuming you stay at that same speed). excluding hills, whatchu mean?
hayleyearth Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 excluding hills, whatchu mean? Rethorical question? Or you being serious that you want me to reply?? I have a loooong day behind me, I'm tired....but okay.... (Im just gonna say a few random stuff. Dont feel like putting it in contructive sentences) The system cant store energyWhen accelerating which goes close/beyond the desired speed it brakes to get back to desired speedThis can be just before slight incline on road and then need to add fuel to get it up there againIt adds way way more accelerate - brake - accelerate - brake to the drivingVehicle inertia isn't used as when a person drivesCruise contols tends to use the throttle way more than neededEtc etc
Capricorn Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 not a rhetorical question at all. But since you tired, i'm just gonna say I disagree, except when it comes to hills. For what you describe, if on a flat, then the control logic is at fault to have such a coarse level of control to resort to applying brakes as opposed to relying on simple rolling resistance to slow the car to correct for slight overspeeding. I dont believe modern control logic is that unreliable. At all.Especially with predictive algorithms that allow for convergence without resorting to an overdamped control system. You've worked for an automotive concern, so maybe i'm wrong.

JCA12 Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Just got a new saddle for my mtb. Replacing my old scott road saddle.
DawieO Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 haha - drove her down from jhb yesterday. Put cruise control on 140 and got 10l/100 avg for the entire trip. Its not toooo bad on the open road, but its a monster around town 10l/100km, nice! I wish. My trip to Knysna and back got me my best ever consumption of 14.4...
